I don't know if safely but in my case it all works also without diodes all on 5V. I tested without those diodes on my two laptops and nothing was damaged :) It's also mentioned on i2c-tiny-usb page that You can omit the diodes and according to USB specs nothing should happen. > > And some random thoughts, also: > > 1) I was told on some forum (it is in Russian, so links are useless > here), that DS2482-800 doesn't proceed 1-wire lines in parallel.

The short version is that the most powerful one is DS2480B the i2c ones are weaker. But on the other hand with -800 you get a switch so it's better with star topology. http://www.maxim-ic.com/app-notes/index.mvp/id/4206 Yes, the DS2482-800 just switches between buses but while the bus is inactive it has +5V power so maybe sensors can do the conversion. DS2482-100 does not have strong pull "inside" you have to add external transistor for that. I have my test board done. I just need to print it on a laser printer. It has place for all 3 i2c masters and you can disconnect each one with a jumper. Atmega8 has also a header to future experiments. It's one side board with few wires instead of bottom side. board http://ubuntuone.com/3XX2xi4AllOoJP2nC5rAIe schematics http://ubuntuone.com/4rrnNhILnhTiT7jCWYz4fU > > 2) If one can combine existing 1-wire master code for AVR (STM?)

I saw some guy mad a 1-wire master and posted on Polish forum elektroda.pl http://www.elektroda.pl/rtvforum/topic1524421.html It said to run on Linux with digitemp. -- p4trykx ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.
